From a #1 New York Times bestselling author comes this
thrilling story that shows what happens when a dead man's secrets fall
into the hands of vigilante antihero—drawing him down a dangerous road.
Over
twenty years ago, the heiress Patricia Lockwood was abducted during a
robbery of her family's estate, then locked inside an isolated cabin for
months. Patricia escaped, but so did her captors — and the items stolen
from her family were never recovered.
Until now. On the Upper
West Side, a recluse is found murdered in his penthouse apartment,
alongside two objects of note: a stolen Vermeer painting and a leather
suitcase bearing the initials WHL3. For the first time in years, the
authorities have a lead — not only on Patricia's kidnapping, but also on
another FBI cold case — with the suitcase and painting both pointing
them toward one man.
Windsor Horne Lockwood III — or Win, as his
few friends call him — doesn't know how his suitcase and his family's
stolen painting ended up with a dead man. But his interest is piqued,
especially when the FBI tells him that the man who kidnapped his cousin
was also behind an act of domestic terrorism — and that the conspirators
may still be at large. The two cases have baffled the FBI for decades,
but Win has three things the FBI doesn't: a personal connection to the
case; an ungodly fortune; and his own unique brand of justice.
